SPECIOIS ARGUMENT ANSWEHEP It la often Insisted, as a means of JI verting criticism of the Ogden movf Jlient, that It has no pur-pone to disturb tha educational or social systems of the South, and that this is proven by th fact that the majority of those Hilled With It who control the spending of the tnoney are Southern men. To which Argument The Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore, makes reply: 'The con trol of the Ogden movement has never been In the South, regardless of the personal constituency of this or that board or this or that 'Conference' rep resenting It. The control of the move ment. Just as the control of every movement, has always been with those controlling the finances of It." There Is fio getting around this proposition. The men who finance an enterprise direct Jt, no matter If they do place their tnoney In the hands of other men for its Actual disbursement. We say this Without prejudice aa to the expendl 'ture of this Ogden money In behalf of Ilegro education a phase of the sub ject which has always concerned us much less than another, to-wit: the ef fect upon the manhood of the South ern white people of the bestowal of charily upon them for , education or any other purpose. We "reprobate what we believe to be the uncandor of the Ogdenites with regard to their atti tude toward the race question as in volved In their movement but our feel ing goes no further than thatt so far as the negroes are concerned. They would be entitled to more respect If they gave out their plans and avowed their purposes. ' Lord! how this world Is given to ly ing. A sentence from ihe Indiana Re publican platform reads: "We indorse the action of President lioosevelt In rigidly enforcing the nntl-trust laws placed upon the statute hooks of the United Htates by the Republi can party." The Boston 11. raid wants to know "whether it is tiie 'rigid en forcement of the ant I-1 rust law' 'against the beef-packers, the Standard Oil magnates, the United Slates Steel Corporation, the coal-carrying rail roads, the Santa Fe rebaters, nr the wood-pulp and pap-r trust that the platform-makers had In view." The public Is tolerant of the Republican party when it takes to Itoelf the credit for good crops and good weather. Hut It oversteps the limit wlicn lis claims to have enforced, rigidly ur other lo, any anti-trust law. ., Maxim Oorky, the Russian revolu tionist, has made a couple r,f ,,,, breaks right at the beginning f his Visit to this country. One ,f llicm has already been told of In our Ako ciated Prtss dispatch)-, ami the oth er was in sending a telegram to Hay Wood and Mover. Amerlmn ml nnrai In tan i Idaho ,Har i. ... ' tlon. The message is said l. have, been unobjectionable in substam , but bad In form. If Gorky Intends Mock ing With that crowd, the belter ele ment in this country will soon cut loose from him. The putting to death of human be ings In the manner In which two ne groes were killed by a mob at Spriflg- , jt field, Mo., Saturday night Is most re- 'iKr voltlng, even when the victims are v m nu.iiy vi me routesi or,janeiro. Such an appointment would, , vnmca. wnen, as in mis case, the un i , 'fortunate negroes were Innocent, there Is no language with which to damn the t action of the mob.

In view of tte-many criticisms that have of late, been lodged against that body, it )a refreshing. to rs,dthe fol lowing 'trom the Boston Heratd ; : "We Question whether- during the pre eriV generation the Senate or the United States'!) shown In its' discussion of a public question 'mere of the qualities of statesmanship than Us members have ex hlbtted in the last few weeks In the ad dresses and debate that have taken place on the question of the railroad rate bill. There was nothing of the nature of a dis cussion of this measure when it was be fore the House of Representatives. When the Hepburn bill was brought Into the House of Representatives it was re ported on the distinct understanding that no amendment to it would be permitted; hence the speeches made for and against It were of a perfunctory character, made or no purpose but to place the speakers on record or to enable them to supply their constituents with copies of congres sional addresses. This bill was pussed In this unqualified, unrevlsed form, with only seven members of the House of Representatives voting In the negative; hut since It hns ben In the Senate it has been the subject of enlightening debate." Commenting on the above, The Washington Post save: "At no time since our Kovernment be gan operation has the Senate, the one and only deliberative body In the law making department, hern more earnest or more successful In reforming the work for which It whs created than it has been during nil the time that It has been lambaste! and traduced for Its course on the great and complex question of railway rate legislation. The Boston Herald utters the nlmple truth when It nays that -whatever other result may follow from the present session of Con grenH. it will at leant have had the effect of materially raining the United Slates Senate, ho far as the Intellectual charac ter or Mb membership is concerned. In the opinion of all discriminating Ameri ca nH. The T'nlted Stages Senate, has al ways been the balance-wheel of Con- greKs carefully deliberating over things which the lower house had passed with more or leas haste and In many cases In response to a sudden public sentiment. Because It has done this the very thing for which It was created the Senate has been subject to all sorts of criticisms. It has been said that most of the memoes " were old fogies who delighted to delay leg islation, etc., but here of late more se rious charges have been brought. In volving the characters of the Senators and charging them In a general way with being Improperly Influenced by railroads and other large corporations. There are doubtless some men in the body who are guilty of the things charged, but the great majority are good men and Ihe unjust outcry against them should be stoppad. txm THE rORFJGN KH'S BENEFIT i Representative Ralney. Republican, of Illinois, arguing recently for revis ion of the tariff, declared that Ameri can manufacturers sell their products abroad at 30 to 50 per cent, less than they sell the same goods for at home a fact which Js.so wejl known that It 1b not denied and The Hartford Cour ant, Republican, commenting upoh this declaration, says: "The protection they get Is for the ben efit of people Mbroad and against the American at home. It is such revelations as this that will knock the whole protec tive tariff scheme endwise some day un less wisdom makes lis way lit pretty soon and compels reform. When protected rails In Pittsburg are cheaper In South Afrh-a than In New York anil protected watihis made In Massachusetts nre chi-.ip.r in Paris tluin in Bon ton. It Is time t ask what the protection we grant Is granted for?" Till presents Ihe tariff question In n light under which anybody can see through and understntui it. It will ap pear from this, even to the darkened understanding, that our protective system Ih maintained for the benefit of two clauses: the homo manufacturer and the foreign buyer. How long the American people are, going In put up with this sort of thing depends upon the limit of their patience, which Is proverbially great but to which there must bo an end as there Is to all things. In a speech at the Jefferson day ban quet at Kansas City, Representative 'has. A. Towne said: "1 am going back to "Washington with th avowed purpose of exiM'ilnif fresl- I. nt Koowevelt.

The stockholders in the Mutual Building & Loan Association field their annual meeting in the court room, at the city hall last night. v The reports of the president and sec retary were received, the board of AU rectors elected and other routine busi ness transacted. The authorised, capi tal stock of the association waa from 11,000,000 to $2,000,000. At the convening of the meeting, Mr. Thomas Griffith was called to the chair and Mr. J. W. Zimmerman made sec retary of the body. The president. Mr. John It. Pharr, made a abort ad dress, showing the organisation to be in fine shape. Secretary and treas urer, Mr. E. Im Keealer. then present ed his report, which gave in detail the condition of the association and some thing or its work since it was organ ized, dealing in particular with .the year Just past. After, the reports were received the following board of direc tors was elected; John R. Pharr, F. W. Ahrens, a. O. Brenlier, J. B, McLaugh lin, w. w. wiison, k. s. uray. ueorge B. Hanna, T. B.-Franklin, Frank, F. Dowd, Frank D. Lethco, J. O. Shn narrhouse aad'aVL. Keesler. After the regular business was transacted 'the constitution was amended so as to Increase the author ized capital stock of the association from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. The meeting of the board of direc tors was held immediately after the meeting of the stockholders adjourned and the election of officers was held. The old officers were re-elected as fol lows: President, John R. Pharr; vice president, F. W. Ahrens; secretary and treasurer, E. L. Keesler; attorney, Chuse Brenlxer. The report of the secretary was comprehensive and will be of general Interest. It was as follows: j 'To the Stockholders of the Mutual Building & Loan Association: "Oentlemsn: "I beg herewith to submit my an nual report as secretary and treasurer, and ask for the same your careful at tention and minutest examination. "From the figures found, as per the several statement and balance sheets accompanying this report, 'you will readily see - that your association Is In a wonderfully and healthful condi tion. "That you may have a better con ception of the progress It Is making, and the tremendous activity that marks Its relations with the multitude of shareholders Investors and borrow ersI will give you a few figures culled from the annual report of 1904, 1905 and 1908, covering a period of exactly two years. "On March 31, 1904, the association had 5,178 shares, representing $517,800, while March 31, 1906. showed 4,697 shares, representing $669,700, a net in creaae In shareholdings of nearly 30 per cent, within 12 months, having matured two series in the meantime. On March 31, 1906, the date to which this report tukes us. we have 8,928 shares, representing $892,600, a net in crease In shares for the last 12 months J of about 33 per cent., two series hav ing been matured and paid and, as usual, within the last 12 months. "Now, It is not claimed that this as sociation In its fine work and Its mag nlflcant results. Is any better than It has always been, for It is not, but Is a fact that the. people are realizing more fully than ever before what a wonderful oportunlty It affords them for saving: that It presents the best place possible for Investing the week ly or monthly surplus, however small; Hnd that, as a home-buyer or home builder, it surpasses In Its methods of simplicity, fairness and cheapness all other plans yet devised by man, save those, of course, of like kind and char acter, and which come under the same general head of local bulltilng and loan associations. "This Inrrease of interest on the part of the people, and It includes all class es, from our largest capitalists and business men of mammoth enterprises. to the humblest dally laborer, and to the little boy or girl with the one share at 25 cejits a week, has been brought about by legitimate advertising In the dally papers, by the large distribution of literature on the subject, by some public addresses, by the coming to gether In convention of building and loan people, and by the visible results In the form of beautiful homes, state ly Institutions of learning, business houses of handsome proportions, and the general accumulation of a snug little Hum for those one may leave be hind him. "As n matter of Information for many of the shareholders of your asso ciation and especially those who have become Interested with uk In moreTS ceut years, I desire to call attention, briefly, to a few fncts of Importance as to the history ami record of the AMsoclatlotv "It was Incorporated In 1M1 under the act of 1870 relating to homestead and building associations, and, from that day to this it has steadfastly and faithfully performed Its proper func tions In building homes, some humble.

"It has furnished safe and profitable Investment for the small earnings of wage earners of all classes, white and colored, and lias served as a Strong Incentive to save and accumulate to that large class of our young people who are prone to throw away their surplus earnings. "It hns attracted, simply as an In vestment, many professional and busi ness men from all sections of our country, from Maine to California, and at this time our shareholders are found in very many Htates in the, Union. The most signfflcant fact connected I with its history of 26 years of continu ous operation is that while it has handled many thousands of dollars of the people's money, Including that of th widow and ths orphan, not one Cent hus been lost, and It has never failed, during this long period, to ma ture and redeem Its stock in a manner satisfactory to the multitude of Its shareholders. . , ''I congratulate you upon the great work already achieved and upon Ihe present brilliant prospect of accom plishing result on a great and more extensive scale, and especially do I urge upon you to commend this, your association, to your friends and to HUMAN BLOOD MARKS.
